5 - #161 overall - OF Will Gasparino - UCLA - 21 years old - 6’6” 220 pounds
Is from Los Angeles, CA - graduated from Harvard-Westlake HS - his father Billy played at Oklahoma State and in the Rockies organization… currently serves as Dodgers VP of Baseball Operations. Initially attended Texas - played there two seasons before transferring to UCLA for the 2026 season.
MLB - “Gasparino was one of a handful of the top 100 on MLB Pipeline's Draft Top 250 Prospects list in 2023 to go undrafted and head to college. The son of Dodgers long-time scouting executive Billy Gasparino, Will spent his first two years struggling at the University of Texas. A transfer to UCLA and a subsequent change to his setup at the plate unlocked a lot of offensive potential and helped vault him into early-round conversations. Even back in his high school years, Gasparino was a huge tower of raw tools. The 6-foot-6 right-handed hitter is capable of hitting the ball as hard and as far as just about anyone in the class. At Texas, he was more spread out in the box, and he never got comfortable. At UCLA, he's gone back to something closer to what he did in high school, a bit more upright where he feels he can be more athletic. It's provided more consistent results, though there will always be swing-and-miss in his game, with skeptics fearing his tendency to chase will keep him from producing and tapping into his double plus raw power at the next level. While Gasparino is an above-average runner, he hasn't used that speed to steal bases in college. It does help him play an above-average center field, where his strong arm is also an asset. The team that takes him in the top few rounds will be the one who thinks he can refine his approach just enough to reach his ceiling as a hitter.”
6 - #190 overall - C Macon Winslow - North Carolina - 21 years old - 6’0” 200
Is from Hertford, North Carolina - graduated from Perquimans County HS. Grew up on a sod farm, loves to hunt and fish. Was the #6 rated catcher in the country in HS and #1 in state of North Carolina. Two-time HS baseball state champion. Initially attended Duke and played 100 games there. Transferred to UNC for the 2026 season.
MLB - “Winslow played two years at Duke before joining North Carolina and slashing .282/.417/.466 with 10 homers in 68 games for the College World Series runners-up. He has solid to plus bat speed and raw power to go with a strong arm, though his receiving skills needs improvement.”
7 - #219 overall - RHP Bo Rhudy - Tennessee - 21 years old - 6’4” 230 pounds
Is from Chickamauga, Georgia and graduated from Gordon Lee HS. Originally attended Kennesaw State - pitched in 40 games there - transferred to Tennessee for the 2026 season - made 23 appearances and led the Tennessee bullpen with three saves and a 0.88 WHIP.
MLB - “Rhudy throws a lot of fastballs and he throws a lot of strikes. That approach worked for two seasons at Kennesaw State and continued to bring him success in the Southeastern Conference, college baseball's best league, after he transferred to Tennessee for his junior season. He compiled a 3.38 ERA and 41/6 K/BB ratio in 32 innings while ranking among the NCAA Division I leaders in fastball rates of chases (41 percent), swings and misses (35 percent) and in-zone swings and misses (28 percent). Rhudy's heater sits at 91-93 mph and reaches 96, but hitters can't lay off it or catch up to it despite its below-average velocity. His fastball is special because he creates huge spin rates and significant carry coming from a low release height and flat approach angle. He utilizes it about 70 percent of the time while employing a tight upper-70s slider to throw off batters' timing. The extension in Rhudy's low-three-quarters delivery adds to his deception. He pounds the strike zone and ranked third in D-I in overall (72 percent) and fastball (77 percent) strike percentage. He's purely a reliever but his unhittable heater might make him a high-leverage option, especially if a pro team can help him gain more velocity.”
8 - #249 overall - LHP Wyatt Danilowicz - Louisville - 22 years old - 6’1” 210 pounds
Is from Traverse City, Michigan and graduated from Traverse City West HS. Lettered four years in HS and was rated as the No. 1 left-handed pitcher and No. 8 overall player in Michigan and the No. 39 left-handed pitcher in the nation by Perfect Game. - 2025 Academic All-ACC team. Pitched in four games his freshman year (2023), missed 2024 due to injury. Posted a 2.70 ERA with 52 strikeouts in 33.1 innings, limiting opponents to a .165 batting average in 2025 - 28 appearances. 69 IP in 14 starts in 2026 -
Baseball America - “has a fastball that averages around 90 mph and touches 94, but it has above-average riding life that helps the pitch play up and generate more whiffs than the velocity might suggest. He throws a pair of high-spin breaking balls, including a low-80s shorter slider with tight movement and an upper-70s curveball with big sweeping shape. He’ll also mix in a mid-80s changeup.”
9 - #279 overall - LHP Cooper Consiglio - North Carolina State - 20 years old - 6’0” 192 pounds
Is from Palm Harbor, Florida and graduated from East Lake HS and the IMG Academy. Posted a 1.59 ERA and 12-8 record in HS in 124 IP (184 K’s). Pitched three seasons at NC State 48 appearances - 22 starts - 135.2 IP - 147 K’s - FB sits 90-92 mph with 20+ inches of induced vertical break - 20% whiff rate in Cape Code summer league. Slider, changeup and big breaking curve.
10 - #309 overall - SS Reece Moroney - Rhode Island - 20 years old - 5’11” 187 pounds
Is from Fair Haven, NJ and graduated from Rumson-Fair Haven HS. Earned HS letters in baseball and soccer. Started 43 of 44 games as a freshman - then every game in his sophomore and junior seasons. .336/.431/.435 slash line in 747 career PA’s.
MLB - “Moroney has been a regular presence as Rhode Island’s shortstop for the past three years and is coming off his best offensive season, earning Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors after hitting .370/.426/.494. He makes a ton of contact, limiting swing-and-miss, but does so with little impact. He was named the A10 Defensive Player of the Year and is a steady defender, though while scouts think he can start out at the premium position, he might end up at second base.”
11 - #339 overall - RHP Drew Titsworth - Clemson - 21 years old - 6’3” 215 pounds
Is from Frankenmuth, Michigan and graduated from Frankenmuth HS - lettered four times in baseball, three times in football and two times in basketball in HS.
Baseball America - “Titsworth ranked as the No. 453 player in the 2023 class out of high school, but made his way to Clemson where he pitched as a reliever initially before making his way into the rotation in 2025. He lost that starting job in 2026 for a Tigers’ team that struggled with pitching consistency and went 4-3, 5.09 in 35.1 innings. Titsworth’s underlying performance wasn’t as problematic. He struck out 26% of batters with just a 7% walk rate. A 6-foot-3, 215-pound righthander, Titsworth throws from a low, sidearm slot and uses both a four-seam and two-seam fastball. Both pitches check in around 93 mph and get up to 96-97 from a low release height with an extremely flat approach angle. Titsworth uses a low-80s slider as his primary secondary pitch, but it can back up and flatten out at times. He also has a low-80s changeup that he uses infrequently but flashes impressive armside fade. Titsworth is better than the results he showed in 2026, but now he’ll have to convince a pro team that there’s more than what meets the eye.”
12 - #369 overall - RHP Christian Coppola - St Joseph’s - 22 years old - 6’5” 230 pounds
Is from Galloway, NJ and graduated from Cedar Creek HS - initially attended Rutgers and then Arizona -
Baseball America - “Coppola pitched as a starter for two seasons with Rutgers in 2023 and 2024, then spent a year at Arizona where he pitched in just three games before transferring to Saint Joseph’s for the 2026 season. He’s never been able to replicate a standout 2023 freshman season—which led to an appearance with the 2023 Collegiate National Team—but he has an enticing two-pitch mix that could make him an interesting senior target. Coppola has a 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame and throws a fastball in the 90-95 mph range with well-above-average extension. Despite solid velocity and reach with his heater, he actually pitches heavily off a sweeping slider that has an outlier combination of power and movement. The pitch sits in the mid 80s but also comes with more than 18 inches of gloveside movement. He has used the breaking ball to generate a 46% miss rate, .209 opponent average and 51% groundball rate—all while throwing it 80% of the time. While Coppola’s slider is the pitch that will get him drafted, his fastball’s not a bad offering to back it up and he has some history as a successful starter even though his strikes and performance have been inconsistent.”
13 - #399 overall - OF Braydon Bakes - Illinois State - 21 years old - 5’10” 195 pounds
Is from Algonquin, Illinois and graduated from Hunter High School - his twin brother Ryan was a collegiate teammate at Illinois State.
Baseball America - “Bakes missed the 2024 season with a medical redshirt with Illinois State, but had a strong offensive season in 2025 and then was one of the most productive hitters in college baseball in 2026. As the team’s everyday left fielder and No. 2 hitter, Bakes slashed .389/.478/.705 with 16 home runs, 22 doubles and excellent plate discipline numbers. Bakes was one of just 10 college hitters with at least 15 home runs and 20 doubles. Bakes has a short and stocky, maxed-out frame at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds and generally makes strong swing decisions while hammering the ball when he makes contact. His batting average and strikeout rate might overstate his true underlying contact skills—which are more fringy, especially vs. secondaries—but he has a strong track record of minimizing his strikeouts and taking a fair share of walks. Bakes’ brother, Ryan, caught for two seasons with South Carolina before transferring to join Brayden at Illinois State in 2026.”
14 - #429 overall - LHP Patrick Clemmey - Avon Old Farms HS (CT) - 19 years old 6’5” 215 pounds

15 - #459 overall - SS Owen Clyne - George Mason - 22 years old - 6’2” 195 pounds
Is from Wichita, Kansas - attended Barton Community College (KS) and Iowa Western Community College before coming to George Mason where he played two seasons - posted a .338/.429/.498 slash line and .927 OPS at George Mason over two seasons in 117 games - 558 PA’s with 25 doubles and 13 home runs. Primary position was SS but has also played second and third base. In his senior year he led George Mason in hits, triples, HR’s, RBI’s, walks, runs, total bases and slugging percentage. Played for the Aberdeen IronBirds in the MLB Draft League.
16 - #489 overall - C Matt Quintanar - Texas Tech - 22 years old - 6’2” 215 pounds
Is from Sunland, California and graduated from Hart HS. Played his first collegiate season at Central Arizona College - transferred to Blinn College his sophomore year - joined Texas Tech in 2026 - was one of the best defensive catchers in the country - fielding percentage of .990. Hit .323 with 6 home runs and 46 RBIs - .870 OPS.
17 - #519 overall - RHP Adam Troy - USC - 22 years old - 6’3” 215 pounds
Is from Houston Texas and graduated from Summer Creek HS. His dad played collegiate baseball at New Mexico State. In HS set a school record with 17 K’s in one game. Originally attended Pepperdine - transferred to USC in 2026.
Baseball America - “Troy is a redshirt junior righthander who began his career as a reliever with Pepperdine before transferring to USC in 2026. In 2026 Troy posted a 4.28 ERA over 31 appearances and 33.2 innings, with a 25.7% strikeout rate and 12.6% walk rate. He’s a 6-foot-3, 215-pound reliever who attacks hitters with a heavy diet of his mid-90s cut-ride fastball. Troy sits around 93 mph and touches 95, but he misses plenty of bats with it thanks to its impressive movement. He generated a 26% miss rate with the fastball this spring. Troy also mixes a trio of secondaries that include a mid-80s gyro slider, a mid-80s changeup and a mid-to-upper-70s 12-to-6 curveball. Troy has a starter’s arsenal, but he’s pitched as a full-time reliever throughout his college career and is a below-average strike-thrower, with a 12.6% career walk rate.”
